Chapter 20: Stone Vines
Five minutes later, large swaths of broken howling flowers were scattered throughout the cave, and Maha leaned against the wall, blood gurgling from his earholes.
Killua who was held in Eminem's arms woke up, he looked around in confusion, and soon, he saw Maha standing inside the large body of the weeping flower.
Killua broke free from Eminem's arms and hurried at Maha, grabbing Maha's sleeve.
"Great grandfather, how are you, your ears...... Can you still hear me? ”
Seeing Maha's appearance at the moment, although Killua had tears in his eyes, he didn't cry like an ordinary little kid.
"I'm fine."
Maha smiled and patted Killua on the head with his hand.
"Really... Are you okay? ”
Killua's mind is very delicate, he vaguely sees that something is wrong, and this is indeed the case, what Killua said before, Maha didn't hear a word, he went deep into the withered mountain a few times before, and he had never encountered this number of howling flowers.
Now Maha is completely deaf in his left ear, and his hearing in his right ear has decreased by at least 30%.
"Let's move on."
Ma Ha nodded to Su Xiao and made a vague gesture to Su Xiao, meaning: "I have temporarily lost my hearing. ’
Su Xiao didn't speak, just nodded, and tapped the stone wall with his fingers, expressing a meaning.
"Will there be other Wailing Flowers?"
Su Xiao spoke.
"Based on past experience, there will be no more large groups."
Ma Ha is now completely deaf, but there is nothing unusual about his conversation with Su Xiao, and when he noticed this scene, Killua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't stay two meters away from Eminem."
Su Xiao's eyes looked at Killua for some reason, Killua subconsciously trembled, he silently came to Eminem's side, Eminem grabbed Killua and put him on his shoulder, it was still holding Alujia in its arms.
Su Xiao and Ma Ha walked in front, Ma Ha was not wrong, and the Wailing Flower did not appear in large groups.
The Wailing Flower is a very difficult plant, even with Maha's strength, he lost his hearing when dealing with these Wailing Flowers, this is still a visible injury, and the injury in his body is much more serious than the loss of hearing.
Drops of blood overflowed from the corners of Maha's mouth and fell to the ground, and Killua in the back saw the blood on the ground, but he didn't make a sound, but his emotions were a little dripping, and this feeling of dragging back was definitely uncomfortable.
There must be an important reason why Maha brought Aluja and Killua with him, there is no doubt about it, or rather, the two of them are a kind of insurance, Maha knows that he will only have one chance to enter the interior of the Braided Mountain, so he must take all possible scenarios into account.
The group continued to move forward, and encountered a few small groups of crying flowers along the way, all of which were solved by Ma Ha, in Ma Ha's words, Su Xiao needed to conserve his physical strength, and then the difficulty would consume a lot of Su Xiao's physical strength.
After about ten minutes of walking, the group reached the end of the cave, and there was a dead end in front of them.
In front of them was not a stone wall, but a dark green vine coiled together.
The vines were deep into the stone walls, each arm thick, and from the small part that was exposed, it was not small, and it seemed to be wrapped around something.
"This is the Bayira Stone Vine, it completely wraps the central area of the Blighted Mountain, there are no dead ends, according to my previous observations, the vine ball formed by this thing, the diameter is at least ten kilometers in size, you can understand it as the 'king's guard', it has no offensive nature."
Maha's hand pressed on the 'Bayla Stone', and the veins on his face burst out, and he grasped it with all his might.
With a click, a fine crack appeared on the vine, and the crack gradually healed after more than ten seconds.
"It's what really held me back, I tried to make a way out of the vines, but unfortunately failed."
Maha's meaning is obvious, let Su Xiao help him break a road to the center.
This is definitely a physical job, and it is also a long-taking 'project', and if the speed of destruction is not fast enough, it will not be possible to penetrate the passage within the Bayira Stone Vine.
It's just pure destructive power, Maha can do it, but after breaking a path, he has to continue to destroy the vines forward, otherwise he will be trapped in it by the regenerated Bayira stone vine, and eventually squeezed to death.
"I've got the oxygen and food ready, let's get started."
Maha's hearing in his right ear has regained some notice.
"Stand back."
Su Xiao moved his shoulders, pulled out the dragon slashing flash, and took off the clothes on his upper body.
Zheng Zheng Zheng ......
Su Xiao slashed at the 'Bayira Stone Vine' several times, and a large number of broken vines splashed, and a three-meter-wide and one-meter-deep passage was cut out in front of him, surrounded by uneven passages.
After cutting out these few knives, Su Xiao personally realized how hard the 'Bayila Stone Vine' was, he had to use at least seventy percent of his strength to break through the vine, and it was still a long project.
Su Xiao continued to swing his knife forward, while Maha was responsible for cleaning up the severed vines, and the group gradually went deep into the vine ball.
Although Su Xiao was able to cut through the vine passage, the Bayira stone vine would gradually regenerate, which meant that as long as Su Xiao stopped opening the way, they would be trapped in it.
The inside of the Bayra Stone Cranberry is a nightmare for hermetic phobia, and after cutting out the vine passage in front of it, the vines behind it will gradually regenerate to form a confined space.
An hour later, Su Xiao was holding a knife in his right hand and a compass in his left hand.
Swinging the knife for an hour in a row, this is actually not too high physical consumption for Su Xiao, if it is an hour of swinging the knife in battle, it will indeed consume a lot of his physical strength, but now it is different, now you only need to swing the knife mechanically, and you don't need to consider the angle or the location of the enemy at all.
Even so, Su Xiao couldn't hold on for long, and he had to use seventy percent of his strength for each knife, and with his 82-point physical strength attribute, he could last for about 40 hours at most.
Only God knows how thick this vine ball is, this large vine plant, even if it is several kilometers thick, is not impossible, this is not an ordinary plant, but an alien creature from an unknown area.
While swinging the knife, Su Xiao checked the progress of the hidden mission, and the first ring had been completed when he arrived inside the Bayira Stone Vine.

Su Xiao slashed at the vines in front of him with a knife and hurried on.
Twenty hours later.
Tick, tick......
Sweat dripped down Su Xiao's cheeks, and Ma Ha on the side was holding on to the vine wall, obviously a little unstable, of course, Su Xiao was not the only one who opened the way, Ma Ha would replace Su Xiao appropriately.
